Ease sharing of 3D models between organizations that use different CAD systems. Leverage the value of legacy data. Make a complete transition to a SolidWorks solution more quickly. These are some of the benefits provided by FeatureWorks, the first parametric feature recognition software for CAD users.

Fully integrated with SolidWorks^® Suite, FeatureWorks helps recreate or introduce new design intent when bringing 3D models created in other software applications into SolidWorks 2008. FeatureWorks applies intelligence to static translated files, increasing their usefulness and reducing time spent rebuilding models.

FeatureWorks is best-suited for recognition of quadrangular, conical, and cylindrical machined and sheetmetal parts.

FeatureWorks includes new flexible functionality including the ability to run interactive and automatic feature recognition at any time in any order. FeatureWorks has the capability to re-recognize features as different features types and the ability combine multiple features inside the new FeatureWorks feature tree. Also new is the ability to recognize draft features and rib features. This brings the total to 10 different feature types that FeatureWorks supports.

FeatureWorks is available from your SolidWorks reseller. Please download the product data sheet for more information.
